Could Andrew face jail time if he confessed to sleeping with an underage girl?
This could be the first time a major regime has been overthrown through and partly because of the internet. Might be overplaying it, but this feels pretty huge and very toxic for the brand. Who knows where this could end up. If it starts to gather more momentum, they throw him to the wolves (looks bad) or they stand by him (looks worse).He’s accused at this point of time but the evidence, including that interview, seems pretty damning.
He’s accused of having sex with a trafficked girl of 17. OK not illegal in terms of age in Britain but that is illegal in the US and trafficking for that purpose is obviously illegal everywhere.
He did have sex with her in the US too, apparently, and he’s also accused of being at an orgy with loads of underage girls, as young as 14, although the evidence of that is less comprehensive but still the accusation is there.
From what I can see he’s accused of a minimum 3 things that are illegal.

She was his madam, the one who got the girls for him. She will be on a boat somewhere for the next couple of years being off the grid, vile woman.
She should follow her father's example
I agree about the public's regard for the Queen, but she’s a 93 years old woman whose ability to command a situation like this is surely diminished. I don’t think they’re definitely finished as an institution, but this is extremely toxic and plays to many of the genuine concerns and criticisms of those who oppose having a monarchy. This whole situation is proving difficult to contain following what has to be said is a self-inflicted wound. They’ve made a bad situation far, far worse by way of this interview and given it a momentum it wouldn’t otherwise have. He’d have been better off staying silent and sloping off into the background.They need to the Queen to live a few more years and they’ll be fine.
The public support her too much to overthrow her and this will be old boring news in 3 years time.
